| - As a general rule, I LOVE farmers markets. They have the freshest foods, the most wonderful people, and a general air of contentment about them.
Imagine my excitement when I was invited to take a trip to Crossroads after years of not being able to go.
I had very fond memories of Crossroads because my family and I used to go every year to stock up for the winter. I remembered row after row of delicious produce, and stall after stall of fresh goodness.
I would be lying if I told you I wasn't disappointed this time that I just went. It must have had something to do with our recent economy because the place was deserted. To add to that, all the vegetables & fruits were priced ridiculously high... like higher than your local grocery store high.
After a couple hours of looking around, we ended up leaving with just a turnip and a squash... yeah, I wish I was joking. Usually we'd be leaving with at least 5-6 full cases of eggplant, tomatoes, etc etc, but not this time.
My heart was a little heavy as we left because this recent visit did not do my memories of the place justice. I'm hoping it was just an 'off weekend'... either way, I haven't been back since.
